Conservative Supreme Court supports church-state separation

The current conservative U.S. Supreme Court recently refused to review a lower court case’s decision that prevented religious groups renting space in public schools to hold religious worship service there.

Churches, synagogues, mosques and temples are the usual places for religious worship services, since these places are houses of religious worship.

Of course, parochial schools are places where religious worship services are held — and rightly so.

Public schools are supported by all taxpayers, but religious prayer services, if held there, would, in essence, eventually turn them into quasi-religious schools if these services were to be legalized.

This country is a bastion of religious freedom. One would get dizzy if he or she would try to tally up the thousands of religious sects here.

The nine Supreme Court justices (five appointed by Republican presidents) upheld church-state separation by indicating that religious prayer services belong in houses of worship and religious schools and not in public schools.

Many would object to this opinion by the Court, but a conservative —and not a liberal — Supreme Court made it.
